Re: DWM Mod. 1902 Parabellum Carbine ~ 50100

Curl, very, very nice and great to see so complete, well done. As to the the leaf spring, I am not that convinced of the explanation given. Plenty of old clocks and watches around that are hundreds of years old with springs that still work, some under horrendous stress.Same with lots of other old guns. We get classic cars in all the time that have springs just as old that are still being driven regularly on the original springs. As the springs are heat treated you normally don't get crystallization of steel, plus the steel used was pretty good and that spring is very long which reduces the stress. Still I wouldn't want to be the one to tell you to shoot it and have the spring break. Considering that the spring is not very complicated, why don't you get a new one made and fit that so that you can shoot it.
Anyway, glad to see that you finally fulfilled a dream. Good on you.

Waidmannsheil.
